Through the Composer, you must use the package matheusmariano/tumblr.
use MatheusMariano\Tumblr\Client;
use MatheusMariano\Tumblr\Connector\Auth\ApiKey;
use GuzzleHttp\Exception\ClientException;
$auth = new ApiKey('my-api-key');
$client = new Client($auth);
try {
$object = $client->get('blog/nutright.tumblr.com/likes', [
'api_key' => true,
'limit' => 10
]);
} catch (ClientException $e) {
// Do something.
}Before request any method from API, is necessary to authenticate our client. For this, there are two authentication levels:
- API key
- OAuth
The API key level is the simplest one, because it just needs the consumer key given by the Tumblr when registering your application. To use it, you should import the ApiKey class
use MatheusMariano\Tumblr\Connector\Auth\ApiKey;and then instantiate it with your consumer key.
$auth = new ApiKey('your-consumer-key');You can use the OAuth level practically the same way, importing the OAuth class
use MatheusMariano\Tumblr\Connector\Auth\OAuth;and then instantiating it with all the necessary keys.
$auth = new OAuth; // Also accepts ordered parameters.
$auth->consumerKey = '...';
$auth->consumerSecret = '...';
$auth->oauthToken = '...';
$auth->oauthTokenSecret = '...';To get the tokens from an user is a little bit different task, because he needs to be notified and give authorization to your application. Is a proccess that involves a lot of steps, but the Authorizer class turns everything easier. For every used page, you should import the class this way.
use MatheusMariano\Tumblr\Authorizer;The first step is to send your consumers to the Tumblr with your callback URI. Let's consider it should be https://example.com/auth/tumblr/callback.
$auth = new OAuth;
$auth->consumerKey = '...';
$auth->consumerSecret = '...';
$authorizer = new Authorizer($auth);
$tokens = $authorizer->getTemporaryTokens('https://example.com/auth/tumblr/callback');If the consumers are accepted, you will receive temporary tokens.
['oauth_token' => '...', 'oauth_token_secret' => '...']Save these tokens, because they will be used in the next session. Now you need to redirect your user to https://www.tumblr.com/oauth/authorize?oauth_token={$tokens['oauth_token']}. There, he will be able to authorize your application and then will be redirected to the callback URI.
In the https://example.com/auth/tumblr/callback, the step is to send the consumers and the temporary tokens together with GET parameter oauth_verifier received from Tumblr.
$auth = new OAuth;
$auth->consumerKey = '...';
$auth->consumerSecret = '...';
$auth->oauthToken = $oauthToken;
$auth->oauthTokenSecret = $oauthTokenSecret;
$authorizer = new Authorizer($auth);
$tokens = $authorizer->getTokens($oauthVerifier);If you prefer, you can use the global $_GET to get the oauth_verifier.
$oauthVerifier = $_GET['oauth_verifier'];If everything runs as plained, you will receive the user definitive tokens.
After configure one of those authenticators, you can import the Client class
use MatheusMariano\Tumblr\Client;and then instantiate it with the authenticator.
$client = new Client($auth);In the version 0.1 of this package, the Client has only 2 very basic methods
getpost
Is important to follow the Tumblr API to use these methods and your responses correctly.
Example: getting the text posts that has the fruit tag.
$object = $client->get('blog/nutright.tumblr.com/posts/text', [
'api_key' => true,
'tag' => 'fruit',
]);The response will be an stdClass object with all content of response, following the Tumblr API.
$object->total_posts; // int
$object->posts; // array
$object->blog; // stdClass
$object->blog->title; // stringThe post method works the same way.
$client->post('blog/nutright.tumblr.com/post', [
'type' => 'text',
'tags' => 'fruit, apple, red',
'title' => 'My new post title',
'body' => 'My new post body...',
]);Request methods may receive errors, generaly 401 not authorized and 404 not found. These errors calls exceptions like GuzzleHttp\Exception\ClientException, GuzzleHttp\Exception\ServerException etc., that can be treated with try...catch. See the Guzzle documentation for more information.
try {
$client->get('blog/nutright.tumblr.com/followers', ['api_key' => true]);
} catch (\GuzzleHttp\Exception\ClientException $e) {
// Do something
}
